Fox dips into the X-Men mythology with its new dramatic series, The Gifted. The new series is produced with Marvel Television and has X-Men veterans Bryan Singer (director of X-Men: Apocalypse, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men 2, and X-Men), Lauren Shuler Donner, and Simon Kinberg on board as executive producers. Executive producer Matt Nix (Burn Notice) is the showrunner and wrote the pilot which Singer directed.

The Plot:The Gifted tells the emotional story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their teenage children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family seeks help from an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.
